Agriculture has been the world’s oldest known industry and has been responsible for developing industries on either sides of it's value chain, as the global trade improved. Apart from being the oldest, it is also the most challenging industry to be in, due to the major issues like increasing population and decreasing size of arable land across the world. Food security has been, is and will be one of the foremost challenges in the world. This, coupled with the policy differences and changes across the world makes it all the more interesting to research in this field to measure the impact of different macro economic variables on the demand and supply of ingredients and outputs of this industry. We at IndustryARC think that this industry would need the maximum innovation across the industries to sustain its scale of challenges.

The global agricultural sector has witnessed significant changes in the past couple of years. According to the FAO and OECD, the agricultural production is likely to witness slow growth or an increase of 1.5% on an annual basis in the next ten years as compared to the 2.1% growth registered between 2003 and 2012 annually. This slow growth is due to the rising costs of production, increasing resources constraints as well as rising pressures from the environment.

As per experts, the agricultural sector is increasingly being driven by market instead of policy. This is providing developing nations with increased opportunities to invest in the sector and benefit economically. However, experts also feel that, shortfall in production and trade related disruptions and volatility in price are some of the concerns related to global food security.

Thus, the global agricultural sector is poised for a bright future in view of the strong and increased demand, high food prices and growth and expansion in trade. Experts are also of the opinion that China will have a major impact on the global agricultural scenario.
